0x800703E3 Error_Operation_Aborted
Invalid access to memory location

If the above isn't Trend Micro's doing, something's really wrong with your
computer (e.g., a hijackware infection).

From: MowGreen on
Darryl,

0x800703E3 ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an
application request

To be clear here, the WUA you are attempting to install was download and
*saved* from:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/7.4.7600.226/windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe

Is that correct ?
Did you download and save the Fixit or run it online ?

Something isn't quite right here. In the clean boot state, Trend
*should* be totally disabled. All references I see with the
0x800703E3 updating error are related to IIS, a corrupt system file, a
bad HD sector, or the presence of malware.

In the clean boot state, please open a Command Prompt ( Start > Run >
type in cmd, press Enter )
At the prompt, type in the below and then press Enter

proxycfg

Under Current WinHTTP proxy settings, does it state " Direct access(no
proxy server)" ?

Now type in sigverif.exe and press Enter
The File Signature Verification tool will open.
Close the Command Prompt window by typing in exit and then press Enter.

Now click the *Advanced* button of the File Signature Verification tool.
Ensure that the "Look for other files that are not digitally signed"
option is marked.
The " Scan for this file type" field should being showing
*.*
For the "Look in this folder" field, set the path to the
WINDOWS\system32 subfolder. If the WINDOWS directory is on C:\ set it to
C:\WINDOWS\system32 or click the Browse button to select it.

You do *not* need to check the box that states "Include subfolders"

Now click the Logging tab. The "Save the file signature verification
results to a log file" option should be checked.
Under "Logging options", it should show "Append to existing log file".
The "Log file name:" should be showing as SIGVERIF.TXT
Click OK, then click the Start button.
The tool will take some time to run. When it's done, please copy and
paste the contents of SIGVERIF.TXT into your reply.

From: Darryl on
Hi Mow, thanks again for the help. I had about given up on this, so didn't
see your post right away.

Yes, that is the correct URL where I got the WUA that I'm trying to install.

Yes, I downloaded FixIt and ran it from my desktop.

I have completely uninstalled Trend AntiVirus. I got my IT guy to enter the
password so it could be uninstalled. No change after it was uninstalled,
though, same error.

After a clean boot, proxycfg shows "Direct access (no proxy server)."

I will post the logfile from sigverif in a separate post, due to length.



From: Darryl on
Mow, the sigverif logfile is very long; you can get it here:

From: MowGreen on
First, unregister winhttp5.dll and re-register winhttp.dll from a
Command Prompt (CP).
Open a CP, at the prompt type in the following pressing Enter after each
command. NOTE the spaces after the "2" and the last " l " in the first
command, please.

regsvr32 winhttp5.dll /u
regsvr32 winhttp.dll
exit

Were the unregister/register commands successful ?
If not, what did the messages state ?

There are a couple of suspicious Unsigned files showing in the sigverif.txt:

kxentovz.dll 2/4/2009
rockvdd.dll 4/7/2005

The former may be an indication that 'something' was or, still is,
present on the system.
I can't find out enough about the latter to determine just what it's
related to, but it appears to have been present on the system for awhile
now.


All of the files related to updating are old and need to be replaced or
the system will never be able to update. Some "thing" is preventing the
installation of the latest release of the WUA.
So, since Trend has been uninstalled, suggest you download and run this
tool to ensure all remnants of it are gone:
AppRemover
http://www.technibble.com/appremover-repair-tool-of-the-week

Next, download, save, and then install Malwarebytes anti-malware:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Grab the free version. When installing MBAM it will try to update to
it's latest definitions. Either allow it or wait until it's installed to
update the defs.
Once installed, run a QuickScan and see what, if anything, it detects.

Please post back with your progress, Darryl.
